  Read his book on my way to Paris. I could relate to the books characters reaction at times. I cannot imagine not having read it prior. Mr. McCullough will live on forever!

  A great book about people that moved to Paris from all parts of the world to learn from professors about painting, medicine, sculpturing, building, etc. So much historical content. Truly a masterpiece!

  This is so fascinating! My man was a walking encyclopedia! Listening to him makes me feel like I’ve been wasting my life! The world literally has lost its way.

  Anytime one has the opportunity to hear David McCullough speak, it is nothing less than a humbling experience.  When you have him together in a Q&A session with a chair like Brian Lamb it now becomes a higher form of intellectual enlightenment.  I was enthralled to hear Mr McCullough talk about Elihu Washburne and the part he played in recording the Siege of Paris during the writing of his book.  A most cherished book in my 19th century French history section is Alistair Horne's “The Fall of Paris”.  Reference's to E.B. Washburne's “Recollections of a Minister to France” 1869-1877, is interwoven throughout it. Thank You CSPAN.
